Bud Compare And Contrast
Have you ever linked yourself to an individual your age during the Great Depression. It is astonishing how diverse we are and it is fascinating how similar we are. You Might think that you are more congruent with Bud, but I assume we are more diverse than the twentieth century kids. I am analyzing a boy that is ten years old and his name is Bud, who’s living during the 1920’s and 1930’s furthermore Bud and I have very few similarities. Particularly one similarity is we are both children that are boys, A second similarity is we know people who got married and relocated to Chicago. Another fascinating similarity is we both have pocket knives.
In addition to Bud, and I have many similarities, moreover, we have more differences than similarities.

    We live in a world of history, a history of past, history in the making, and a history not yet known. History has a way of affecting people’s lives though we often do not recognize it. Most of us do not come to the realization the daily lives we are living and the world surrounding us will one day be studied in history books. This is especially true for children. What youth often thinks, “One day, people will read about this in school”? For children who are born into a time of unease such as the Great Depression or World War II, this is extraordinarily true. Children born and growing up within difficult times simply assume the situation is a way of life; though they may hear elders speak of difficult times, they know no different life. I had the pleasure of interviewing a gentleman named Kenneth Dwayne McGaughey whose life’s story met this situation. Through stories of history, I will share some of this thoughts and memories with the connections to historical times and events.…

    In America, the 1920's were considered to be a 'roaring' time for all Americans. However, it seems to be that this 'roar' was an illusion for some Americans. This time was known as Americas 'age of excess'. In 1921, the gross national product was $74 billion, by 1229, it was $104.4 billion, but how much of this was affecting all Americans. Within this essay, I will be looking at different actions, which affected different people in different ways. For example: while the rich got richer, the poor made very little headway, with many families becoming poorer in the 1920's. By the end of the 1920's the number of people living below the poverty line (those who do not earn enough to buy food, clothing and basic shelter) had increased to an estimated 42 percent of the American population.…

    Candy, Crooks and Curley’s wife’s situations were all examples of what occurred in the 1930’s as a result of the discrimination during that time. Because of this common lifestyle, people were often lonely and either accepted their situation and secluded themselves from society like Crooks, or refused to admit defeat and strived to connect with others in the same way as Candy and Curley’s wife did. Either way, all characters during the economic crisis lived a lonely and depressing life. And in a sense, the Great Depression was the kickstart for a great deal of depression in…

    The era of the 1920’s was perceived by many to be “roaring”. Exiting new inventions, entertainment, and social trends dominated the lives of people living in this decade. However, not everything was as glamorous as it seemed at the time, and hindsight has shed much light on the harsh realities of this period. Perhaps the 1920’s were not as “roaring” as people at the time perceived them. Examples of misconceptions in the 1920’s are: that the stock market was “roaring”, that everyone shared in the prosperity, and that society was making leaps forward.…

    The economic depression of the 1930’s had a profound effect on Miller as he has intimated in his autobiography, but not solely for the pain of watching his family and community suffer. Growing up in the Depression meant a time “when it had been all but impossible to think of one’s fate apart from that of society” (Timebends 363). This is a belief that would stick with Miller and so many other working class men and…

    The 1920’s was the first decade to have a nickname such as “Roaring 20’s” or “Jazz Age.” For many Americans, the 1920’s was a decade of prosperity and confidence. But for others this decade seemed to bring cultural conflicts, nativists against immigrants, religious liberals against fundamentalists and rural provincials against urban cosmopolitans. There was a drastic change in economy through the course of 1920 to 1930. During 1930 the great depression had turned the American dream into a nightmare and what once was the land of opportunity had become the land of desperation.…

    The 1940s were a turbulent time for the American people. A second World War spanning throughout the first half of the decade, the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the fear of communism left people with a sense of uncertainty. And yet, the 1940s were also a time of optimism and harmony. Coming out of the Great Depression and focusing on the war effort gave people a “sense of purpose exhilaration, and community”-- and that carried over into the post-war years.…

    The Roaring Twenties

    American political leaders of the 1920’s were not directly responsible for the Great Depression; the government contributed to many of the factors that led to the Great Collapse, but the burden of this event was on the citizens of the U.S. who abused consumer credit, acted in their own selfish interests, and lost economic confidence. The 1920’s is known as the “Roaring Twenties.” The standard of living had greatly improved from the century before it. American citizens enjoyed shorter work hours and weeks, while also appreciating an increase in salary. The stock market values were continually rising. Moreover, a cultural change was also taking place. People all over the country were united through the same songs, dances, and movies. Women began…

    Norman Rockwell’s “Breaking Family Ties” gives us a look into the change of the post Great Depression and World War II generation.

The father, tired from a life of hard works, sacrificed everything so that his son can go to college; the young man, representing the post Great Depression and World War II generation, is making a better life than what his father had by getting higher education.…
